KSO '17

This was my first event after getting my approval and TK ID. Was a lot of fun seeing all the reactions from kids both old and young. There was definitely a smile behind the frown the whole time. It rained on us a bit but the otherwise cool breezes made it quite comfortable inside all the armor. 

 

As featured by the Japanese Garrison page:

 

The 501st Japanese Garrison was invited to serve as costumed support for the 18th Kadena Special Olympics. The Special Olympics is a worldwide organization that hosts annual sports events for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. http://www.son.or.jp/ Nearly 1,000 athletes and a couple thousand volunteers attended the event. Vader’s Legion started the day greeting the busses, cheering for the athletes as they arrived. We were joined by many other costumed favorites including several Disney Princes, knights, Superman, and even Spider-Man. Many of the athletes were thrilled to see us when they arrived! After the opening ceremony we wandered around to different events, stopping to take many photos with guests, cheered the athletes on as they competed, and presented medals to the winners. It was a good day to serve the Empire! #BadGuysDoingGood
